An Introduction To VIASURE® Real Time PCR Detection Kits
Today’s blog will be an introduction to VIASURE® Real Time PCR Detection Kits.
There can be no lack in accuracy when it comes to molecular diagnostics. For health professionals, access to reliable and efficient PCR detection kits should be non-negotiable.
In partnership with CerTest Biotech, Pro-Lab Diagnostics have developed various certified products in the UK to improve and support studies in molecular biology. Through this collaboration, we bring you the VIASURE® Real Time PCR Detection Kit.
Our comprehensive solution has been designed for the diagnosis of infectious disease caused by different pathogens in human samples. From the ease of use to the reliability of results, these kits cater to the versatile and evolving needs of diagnostic laboratories across the UK.
Overview Of VIASURE® Real Time PCR Detection Kits
VISAURE® Real Time PCR Detection Kits are meticulously crafted for the detection of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal DNA and RNA across various clinical samples.
Leveraging the principles of real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), these kits utilise specific primers and fluorescent-labelled probes to accurately identify target pathogens. This methodology ensures both high sensitivity and specificity, making it an invaluable tool in clinical diagnostics.
Key Features And Benefits
- Room Temperature Storage: One of the standout features of VIASURE® kits are their stability at room temperature, eliminating the need for cold chain logistics. This not only simplifies storage but also reduces associated costs and complexities.
- Extended Shelf Life: Each kit boasts a shelf life of up to 24 months from the date of manufacture, ensuring long-term availability and reducing waste.
- Lyophilised Reagents: All assay reagents are lyophilised into 8-well strips or 24-test bulk tubes. This lyophilisation enhances the stability of the reagents and facilitates ease of use.
- Simplified Assay Setup: The assay setup is user-friendly: rehydrate the mastermix with the provided rehydration buffer and add 5 µL of the extracted sample. This straightforward process minimises potential errors and streamlines workflow.
- Post-Rehydration Stability: Once rehydrated, the mastermix remains stable for up to 4 hours, offering flexibility in laboratory operations and accommodating varying workloads.
- Scalable Testing: Depending on throughput requirements, laboratories can perform anywhere from 1 to 96 tests simultaneously, ensuring adaptability to diverse testing demands.
- Comprehensive Controls: Each test well includes an internal assay control. Additionally, positive and negative controls are provided, with most kits also offering an extraction control. This comprehensive control system ensures the accuracy and reliability of results.
- Uniform Cycling Parameters: All VIASURE® kits operate under the same cycling parameters, allowing multiple tests to be run concurrently in a single PCR run. This uniformity enhances efficiency and reduces turnaround times.
Diverse Applications
The versatility of VIASURE® kits is evident in their wide range of applications:
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Detection of pathogens such as Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Astrovirus, Norovirus GI, and Norovirus GII.
- Respiratory Infections: Identification of respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and RSV.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections: Comprehensive panels for pathogens like Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, and Mycoplasma hominis.
- Antimicrobial Resistance and Sepsis: Detection of resistance-associated mutations and sepsis-related pathogens.
- Tropical and Vector-Borne Diseases: Identification of pathogens responsible for diseases such as Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and West Nile Virus.
